Tl the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, and attempting to unlock the passenger's side sliding door, the door detached from the vehicle. The contact stated that the door came off of the track. The contact stated that the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed due to the door not being able to be securely latched. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 149,000. Djr.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that the rear hatch handle was covered with a defective rubber that melted and fractured. The contact also stated that the driver side door made a loud popping noise when opened and closed. The dealer stated that the door handle needed to be replaced and the noise created by the driver side door was possibly due to defective welding. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 107,000.

The passenger sliding door will not close when the buttons on remote or dashboard is pressed. This could lead to a scenario where someone is trapped inside the vehicle and cannot get out. Especially, like a small child.

Rear door latch handle became hot and melted. Used duct tape to cover handle. The handle stopped working in December. The door will not unlock.

I was in a parking lot with car completely off, the side passenger door was fully opened. I was leaning into the car putting groceries in when the door automatically starting closing on my body. It did not stop and started crushing me. I could not get out and as a result have left hip and right knee pain. The door finally opened on it's own. The door should have sensed resistance or something there but it did not. If I were I small child I would have been seriously injured or killed.

Multiple times when the temperature gets below 60 degrees, the rear hatch door does not stay open, it will automatically close and has trapped myself as well as my husband and banged my son in the head. We are lucky no one was seriously injured and feel that this is a major safety issue. We would like to see a safety recall on this issue as soon as possible.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sienna. While the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed the safety feature on the automatic passenger siding door would not function. The sliding door closed abruptly onto the upper arm of the passenger exiting the vehicle. Immediately, the automatic door mechanism was engaged and the door released open. The failure occurred on two different times. The passenger sustained minor injury to the upper arm area. The vehicle had not been repaired or diagnosed at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Left side rear mechanism broke. Cable snapped on the sliding door. Almost hit my child in the face. Power sliding no longer operable must open manually which is very hard for a child. Cost to repair is $2000. 00 by the local Toyota dealership. Toyota did cover it under warranty after I called the Toyota customer care number because it was just days after the 3 year warranty had expired. 8/11 right side rear mechanism broke (other door). Cable snapped again. Told we should not use door until repaired which we will be paying for this time. Seems like these doors are poorly designed and dangerous when inoperable.

I have a 2007 Toyota Sienna and the driver-side sliding door just fails to open. After checking the dealer, I was told that the repairs will cost around 1,200 dollars.

Occasionally and without warning, the automatic left passenger door will close as the person is getting in or out of the van. This has happened at least six times in the eight months we have had the van. It was taken to a Toyota dealer service center on two occasions (different locations), but because the technician can not duplicate the problem, nothing was done. The computer shows no problem, but it has continued to date.

My Sienna xle 07 was purchased new in Jan of 07. Less than 1 month I had a rubbing noise coming from the sliding door on the drivers side. I took the van in and they replaced the locks. In 1 week it was doing the same thing. I had my van in at least once a month the first year of ownership and they would do something and send me home and again the noise would get worse. They even brought in a rep from kansas city and he told me to just put baby powder on the door and it would be fixed. Right. Then noise gets worse in the summer and will drive you crazy. I was told that no other Sienna van had ever had this problem. I love my van, but the noise is horrible and I will never purchase anything else from Toyota. We have owned 2 other Toyotas and 1 Lexus, but this is just a problem with the Sienna.
